4/7 - Reds 6, Mets 1

I didn't get a chance to watch much of this game due to its 12:30 start, but after looking at the box score, I'm glad I only watched parts of two innings. A one hitter taken into the 7th inning by Aaron Harang? Who the heck is this guy? And Kaz Ishii was as advertised in his first New York start--too many walks killed him. (6 runs on only 2 hits? Ugh.)

Fortunately, David Wright is looking as good as advertised--1 for 1 today with 3 walks with the only run. This blog could turn into the David Wright Watch by mid-May if things don't look up soon.

And speaking of looking up, I looked up the last time the Mets started this poorly--1964, when the went 0 for 4 at the opening of the season. And with the Braves this weekend, 0 for 6 is a distinct possiblility.
